Chapter Twenty-Nine: Father and Son Talk
Fortunately, Li Fulu just muttered in his heart, if he really said it, Li Erbao would be able to jump up and pat his chest and say that he would raise it.
But even if Li Fulu didn't say it explicitly, Li Erbao felt that he had to talk to his father.
He thought for a moment and said what he had been thinking for a long time:
"Dad, I know that you are also distressed and want to find a good family for Duoduo, but Dad, do you think Zhao Minghuai will really be Duoduo's lover?"
"Hmm."
Li Fulu walked in front with his hands behind his back and responded lightly, Li Erbao couldn't hear whether it was sure or not for a while.
But he still had to say what he had to say.
"Dad, there may be some things that I said about my sister, which is very undeserved, but our family knows in our hearts that Duoduo is different from other people's girls. She has no thoughts, she is too simple, no matter how much we are willing to marry, no matter who we marry her, it is impossible for her not to be wronged, and no one can pour out her heart and lungs like us. ”
"If you forcibly find her an in-law, maybe she will be like my ninth cousin, who was bullied to death by her in-laws, and we don't know it. Dad, let Duoduo take care of her in our own home, my eldest brother and I can support her for a lifetime, and we can also support her in the future when we have children. In this way, we can rest assured for the rest of our lives. ”
After Li Erbao said this, his throat choked a little.
The ninth cousin is the ninth cousin of her father, and she is also a stupid child, who was married to a disabled man in the mountains by her family when she was a teenager, and was finally abused and died by her mother-in-law's family.
And the mother's family is far away, and she only learned about it a few months after Aunt Jiutang's death, no matter how much she regrets it, people will never come back.
And his sister ...... As long as he thought that his sister who was held in the palm of his hand by the family might face such an ending in the future, his heart was like a knife.
The night was like water, and when Li Erbao's words fell, the surroundings fell into silence, and the sound of the father and son walking and the sound of insects chirping in the grass on the side of the road became clearer and clearer.
After a long while, Li Fulu's slightly vicissitudes of life voice came again:
"Erbao, Dad knows that you are a good reader and a sensible person, what you say is reasonable, and before, Dad thought so."
"From the beginning, when I found that Duoduo was not bright, I discussed with your mother, if you can't meet a kind and honest family in the future, let Duoduo raise it at home for a lifetime. On weekdays, I say that I am saving a dowry for her, but it is better to save for her to rely on for the rest of her life. ”
"But, the two times you went home, didn't you notice how much you have changed?"
"Changed?" Li Erbao raised his head suddenly, that's right, his sister has changed.
Li Fulu continued:
"Whether it's Zhao Minghuai teaching her after she comes, or God seeing her pity and caring for her, anyway, Duoduo is much better now, not only is he not stupid, but it's not an exaggeration to say that he is smart and clever. Besides, you also saw that when she and Zhao Minghuai were together, they were very happy. ”
"Several times, I watched them quietly bickering from the side, although Duoduo looked angry, but her eyes were bright, her voice was loud, and she spoke in an orderly manner, and the whole person was like a crop seedling that had drunk enough water, and it was about to grow and jump."
"Dad has seen a lot of people in his life, although I don't dare to say that this Zhao Minghuai is a good person, but Dad thought, as long as he is happy, Zhao Minghuai is willing, then let him stay in our Lijia Village, be happy, and we can take care of it if we are close."
When Li Fulu said this, he stopped, turned to look at his worried little son, reached out and patted him on the shoulder:
"Erbao, Dad believes in you, and he believes in your eldest brother, Dad believes that even if you don't marry for the rest of your life, you can treat her well. But whether it's me, your mother, or you, no one is a lot. ”
"None of us can replace her in this life, she is unhappy in this life, high or unhappy, only she knows that none of us can replace her, and it is not that we look good, she really feels good...... You can understand what Daddy means, right? ”
"I ......"
This time, it was Li Erbao who was silent.
He was silent and shocked.
He has always been a self-proclaimed reader, and he feels that he knows more than others and thinks more clearly than others.
Even, faintly, there is a little bit of tragedy to sacrifice himself, to be a person who shoulders heavy responsibilities, and to protect Duoduo from being hurt for the rest of his life.
But he really never thought about what she thought about Duoduo.
Does she want to get married, does she want to live alone for the rest of her life?
He never thought about it.
Because in his brother's heart, he actually regarded Duoduo as a fool throughout, and he never thought of caring about the thoughts of a fool.
And his own father ......
Li Erbao raised his head and looked at the vague and thin back in front of him, and suddenly believed that his father had spent two hundred and eighty taels of silver to marry his mother and go home.
Because he only discovered at this time that his father was not the confused old man who searched and greedy for money in the eyes of others, he actually lived more soberly than anyone else.
He knows what he wants, and he also knows that no one can replace anyone's joys and sorrows when he lives.
They think that a good life may not be good for a long time, and they think that they will have a worry-free and happy life, but for Duoduo, it may be a lonely and blank life.
People live for a lifetime, plants and trees for an autumn, perhaps, Duoduo also wants to be like other girls, have a husband, have children, and live a lifetime of joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
What's more, today's Duoduo...... It's really changed.
"Dad, I understand what you said. I promise you, as long as Zhao Minghuai can't get a moth, I won't touch him, but if he dares to do anything bad to Duoduo in the future, I will immediately report to the official to arrest him. ”
"Hmm." Li Fulu still responded lightly, but added a few more words: "As long as I haven't closed my eyes, I will take a good look at him, you only concentrate on reading, and the lintel of the Li family depends on you to add a little brilliance - then again, if you get ahead, forgive him Zhao Minghuai will not dare to be bad to Duoduo." ”
"yes, I know."
The father and son didn't say anything more, just walked on the dark mountain road one after the other, and slowly returned home.
Li Duoduo's journey has been extremely bumpy.
Why? Because she didn't pick her father and second brother to hold her at this time, the mountain road at night was really difficult to walk.
The soil and grass roots under her feet, the potholes, all made Li Duoduo miserable, she missed the night of her previous life very much, there was no moonlight at least there was light.
Zhao Minghuai couldn't stand her stumbling, and stretched out his hand to her:
"Come, give it to me."
"N-ah!"
Li Duoduo refused simply, but the reality was very weak, just after refusing categorically, there was another pit under his feet, Li Duoduo's body was crooked, and he almost had a close contact with the land lord.
Her hand also subconsciously put on Zhao Minghuai's broad and powerful palm, and was held tightly by him.
Li Duoduo wanted to withdraw his hand and go back, but Zhao Minghuai held on.
"Come, I'll take you home."
The night was dark, and Li Duoduo couldn't see what Zhao Minghuai's expression was, but after she stepped on two more pits, she resolutely compromised.
This man is not a gentleman, but he certainly will not be a beast. She silently comforted herself.
